2016 NRL Round 11 Draw & Betting Tips

May 19, 2016

We’re only a couple of weeks away from the annual State of Origin series and the final spots in the squads could be decided after player performances in Round 11 of the 2016 NRL Telstra Premiership this weekend.

Things get underway on Thursday night with the South Sydney Rabbitohs hosting the Dragons at ANZ Stadium.

The Bunnies bounced back from a pretty average few weeks last Friday night with a gutsy 22 – 20 win over the Eels in a performance that showed they could have what it takes to return to their glory days.

Greg Inglis in the centres was outstanding and there was plenty to love about the power in the frontline that if they bring again should see them win this without too much drama.

Friday night footy is a cracker with another Grand Final rematch between the Cowboys and the Broncos.

The last time these two played was at Suncorp Stadium earlier this season in another Golden Point thriller that saw Brisbane turn the tables on the reigning Premiers.

This time North Queensland are narrow favourites in NRL betting with the home ground advantage up in front of a sell-out crowd at Townsville.

Last weekend the Cowboys went down in a shock one point loss to Melbourne during the Double Header at the old Lang Park, and they’ll be out to atone here playing big brothers Brisbane who smashed Manly in the second game last Saturday night 30 – 6.

On Saturday there’s an evenly matched Tigers v Knights clash where Newcastle will be at big odds after a tear-worthy 62 – nil defeat at the hands of the Sharks at Hunter Stadium last Sunday; New Zealand host the Raiders at Yarrow Stadium; and the second-ranked Cronulla are short-priced favourites to defeat the Sea Eagles.

Penrith are also clear top fancies in the first on Sunday afternoon hosting the Gold Coast Titans at Pepper Stadium, before the Bulldogs play the Roosters who went back to their old ways in the 26 – 6 loss to the Titans last Monday night.

Finishing up the round, this Monday night’s clash has Parramatta playing the Storm at Pirtek Stadium in a really close affair that will go down to the wire.
